Cambridge, MD was an Godawful tourney for both of us. I probably drew worse than average, but played just terribly. On the plus side, the hotel and surrounding grounds were beautiful, and the food was delicious.
I'm at a crossroads in Scrabble, wondering whether it's worth the time to study regularly or whether I should be content to be mediocre since it's less stressful to play in the lower divisions. Lazy as I am, I finally made it through the top 3K sevens and eights (combined), but don't feel like studying more which I'd need to do to stop my ratings freefall. On the other hand, it my rating keeps falling, I should have an easy time cashing at Nationals - and without doing a Canik. I finished 9th in Division 2 the last time, so Div. 3 should be profitable.
I do enjoy doing Aerolith most mornings even though I'm still awful at it. Which reminds me, I need to PayPal Cesar. . .
